Hand Embroidery Samples 4 .... Stem Stitch.

This stitch proved more difficult than expected - the one thing I learned was that if I wanted a straight line of stitch, I couldn't make it up as I went on (as I usually do) I had to draw a line and follow it..... Stem Stitch on Irish Linen using threads including DMC stranded embroidery thread, Appleton Crewel wool, DMC Variegated stranded embroidery thread, linen/flax and Perle cotton
